Fwd: This is our wake-up call!

Dear Citizens ,   We are witnessing a profound and alarming shift in global governance—a shift that threatens the very foundation of freedom and democracy. Today's authoritarianism knows no boundaries, and its reach is expanding at an unprecedented pace.   Recently, London's Metropolitan Police Chief declared an intention to pursue international extradition requests against anyone who violates British social media censorship rules—even targeting American citizens.   Such actions are not isolated incidents; they are part of a broader agenda by elites who seek to control what we can read, see, and hear.   They justify this censorship by labeling dissenting voices as "misinformation," "hate speech," "far-right," or "extremist." These labels are wielded as weapons to silence opposition and stifle free expression.   Throughout history, totalitarian regimes have begun their reigns of terror with censorship. The suppression of free speech has often been the precursor to greater atrocities. It starts with silencing dissent, manipulating information, and instilling fear in those who dared to speak the truth.   This pattern is disturbingly familiar, and we must recognize it for what it is: a prelude to oppression.   We Must Not Yield   During the COVID-19 lockdowns, MI-6 labeled health freedom activists, including myself, as potential "terrorists." Yet, it is the authorities who employ fear as a tool of control, perpetuating narratives of pandemics, economic collapse, and endless wars to maintain their grip on power.   These tactics are designed to frighten us into compliance, but we must not yield.   This is a wake-up call for America and the world. We must reclaim our right to free speech and resist the creeping tide of authoritarianism. If not in America, the paragon of freedom, then where?   We owe it to ourselves, to future generations, and to the countless voices silenced by oppressive regimes throughout history. That's why we're asking for your urgent support right now.   God Bless, RFKjr
